Holy Spirit is Person


In the same manner as God the Father and God the Son. The holy spirit is not a feeling,
although some of the descriptions used in the Bible used to describe His work may imply
such manifestations.
We read about the Spirit coming like wind that blows, as river that flows as fire that burns as
dove that alights, as oil that is smeared, as a hand that resets on you and so on.
Jn 14:16-18 – the Holyu Spirit is refered as ‘He’. It describes him as person

The Holy Spirit is with you every where, always. He abides with you. He is with you in your
home. He is with you as you relate with your spouse and childrens. He is with you at your
school, college or workplace, He is with you in the middle of difficult situations. He is with
you as you minister ot people. He is with you at every moment of every day. He can
transform and empower you in all those situations.
Hs being with us same as the Lord Jesus being with us.
ALLOS PARAKLETOS
Jn 14:16- He will give you another helper.
Jesus used the word another/ or of the same sort. Not heteros – not different.
What Jesus was to the disciples, the Holy Spirit would be to His disciples, in His absence.
